Larry - Lumbar Spine Surgery

Daniel C. Martin, MD

Thanks to my care at OrthoVirginia, I can...now do anything that I did before my surgery. It was a long and drawn out experience but thanks to the help and advise from Dr. Martin I feel as well as I ever have in my adult life. The thing that did the most good was when Dr. Martin convinced me to do aquatics. I did this every day for 6 months then went to 3 times a week. After 18 months I stopped and haven't had to return since. Without the help received from Dr. Martin I would be confined to a life of staying home and not being able to walk for any length of time. I now am able to drive a bus part time and I do all of my own yard work.
